Street Fighter - Time to Get Tough
The new Street Fighter slot game, based on the original Capcom game that has been in arcades for years in various different guises, has been long anticipated, boasting fantastic graphics and effects, as well as game play. Now it's been released, it's definitely time to have a go and see how I get on. Anyway, I have to write a game review for the slots section of the site anyway, so now's as good a time as any.
To start you have to choose your Street Fighter substitute character. It's this character that you use to fught with in the free games feature. I chose Ryu, a martial arts clad hardman. There are 5 characters to choose from. They are Ryu, Sagat, Chunli, Ken, and Guile.
The slot itself is a decent enough affair but nothing startling. I played for ages, well 30 minutes before getting the free games feature and the chance to battle Bison. Just as well the feature came up really as I was using my cash quickly and not getting many returns. In fact I went from £40 down to £4 before the feature hit.
The Street Fighter feature is where the game comes into its own and sees your character and Bison squaring up to each other and when the reels spin you, or Bison, attack, depending on where the reels ended up. I took a few big blows early on but then the tide turned and I started to get the better of Bison, eventually knocking him out!
I ended up cashing out about £57 playing Street Fighter, after my free game feature, so at least I got a return on my money. I played for a little longer but never hit the feature again. All in all, I would have preferred to hit the feature more often, even if it's a lower payout as that's what really makes the Street Fighter game but still I ended up £10 for my efforts so not too bad. I may well chance by this game again later.
